My boyfriend rated me an 8.5/10, is this normal?

Are boyfriends supposed to see the girl they love as a dime? I know it is subjective but I want to know if most guys see their girlfriends as a 10 despite looks..just because she is HIS? You know what I'm saying?

Actually, at first he said I was a dime, but I think it was to shut me up, then I said I could not be any more than a seven, and that's when he gave me 8.5

ok I KNOW it's just looks, and that's not all that matters but I am a little saddened to be only an 8.5 in my bf's eyes, that's all.

Updates:

Oh wow, most of the girls answering are really bitchy

Had no idea I would be attacked so hard for asking a question. I usually don't remain Anon but I'm damn glad I did this time.

Honestly, though, I was just wondering if this is just my boyfriend being himself or if this is common among other guys. That's all I was asking.

I used to love this website, now I pretty much just fear being called stupid and bitchy.

I was asking a goddamn question, you really don't need to attack me for it.

I respect the opinions of everyone as long as they are voicing it without insulting me. Who said I needed my ego stroked?

Trust me, 99.9% of the people on this earth are not 10's. We all have flaws. Deal with it. Your boyfriend is with you; if he could do better, wouldn't he try? Generally, people end up with a person who is about the same in looks or rating. He's an 8.5 +/- 1.

Perfectly normal. If men were trying to be objective they would rate their girlfriends like this. Number really does not matter though. After some time especially after proposal that you might be 8 or 5 but he is not going to change you for nothing in the world! And he couldn't explain why. And it certainly wouldn't be just beauty. Or do you want man love you just for beauty? Or some stupid number?

you can't all be 10's :D he's just honest and as you said it's only looks , do you think your boyfriend is perfect ? there must be some things you wanted to change physically no? so in that way he can't be a 10 either

but you don't need to be a 10 for him , he likes you just the way you are

but THE RATING SYSTEM IS STUPID ;D (although it can give you some information , but it's not supposed to be used between gf's and bf's lol )

Why would you ask your boyfriend to rate you? He finds you attractive, if he didn't he wouldn't be with you.

LOL you asked him to rate you, so he said you are a ten... Then you low ball him on and refuse the compliment so he compromises and meets you half way and now you are complaining. What a joke. Now you are complaining on the internet about something you messed up and trying to pass it off the blame on your boyfriend... Miserable.

@Update: It is common among guys to compliment their girlfriends and to comfort them and comprise with them. He tried to compliment you and you didn't accept his compliment for whatever reason (maybe self esteem problems). He then listened to what you said and gave you another compliment that he thought you might accept. Don't worry you're no where near an 8.5... It shows in your personality... People are trying to help you and give you the truth here and you are calling them names.

I'm asking you to answer in a more polite way...couldn't you have worded your answer so hat it wouldn't be offensive, yet still get the same idea across? Instead you insulted me, so I insulted you back.

Well, you don't want to listen to advice, you don't seem to care for other peoples feelings or for their opinions so run along... If you want someone to massage your ego you will not find it with me. =)

@update: I think you got backlash because guys always accuse us of playing games/setting up traps, and we do our best to convince them otherwise, but then your question is just another piece of evidence showing that some of us still do play games like that. regardless, we're just faceless people you'll never meet. don't stress out over our opinions.

when you ask questions like that your never gonna like the answers you get. he said you were a 10 but then you basically called him a liar. so he calls you a 8.5 and your still not happy lol just let it go

Wouldn't you rather a realistic rating than one said simply to appease you? Or it the problem that he realistically sees you as an 8.5? Idk. Anyone, avoid asking questions you don't want an honest answer to. He finds you insanely attractive, so don't fuss over a 1.5 difference. Rather silly, dear.

Oh, and if he's telling you things to shut you up - I think you should reevaluate your behavior .

@update: people aren't going to sugarcoat things. I actually do understand where you're coming from. You want him to see you as "perfect" type of thing, and he doesn't. You just have to remember that he probably loves and accepts those flaws too, and he was being honest -and that he still thinks you're killer attractive.

So let me get this straight... You called yourself average, he said you weren’t, you insisted you were so when he finally gave in and gave you a rating you got upset and pissy. Trust me, you’re not an 8.5. Your egotistical personality makes you a 2.

What a d-bag. That whole rating bs is so lame. You shouldn't rate your girlfriend and a guy should think of his girlfriend as the best... Him doin that turned you into a object and made you feel not special or one of a kind.
